What could be more perfect than spending a balmy afternoon on a patio with friends? Spending a balmy afternoon sipping Mint Divines on a patio with friends, of course. Created by the Martini Club (www.martiniclub.com) in the Spring of 2005, the refreshing Mint Divine is hands-down still our favourite warm-weather cocktail.

Pitchers and dispensers A great way to serve the Divine is from one of these vintage-looking lemonade dispensers. Not only do they look stylish – your friends can help themselves – allowing you time to schmooze with your other guests.
We are in LOVE with our acrylic beverage dispenser. We found it at iQ living on the Danforth, and it holds up to 1.5 gallons of liquid – how divine!
iQ has one of the best pitcher, dispenser and carafe offerings that we have seen for summer. (542 Danforth Avenue www.iqliving.com)
These retail chains also each carry their version of dispenser: www.crateandbarrel.com, www.potterybarn.com, www.canadiantire.com, www.kitchenstuffplus.com
